Summary/Abstract: This article concerns a special position of a veteran in the Polish constitutional system. The Constitution states that the Republic of Poland shall take special care of veterans of the struggle for independence, particularly war invalids.. The study describes axiological and historical basis of privileges of veterans. It was also discussed, how this issue was regulated in former constitutions and what assumptions were adopted in the course of preparatory work on the current constitution. A doctrinal understanding of the analyzed institution was described, basing on the literature of the subject. Reflections of the author are also focused on the basic issues related to understanding the duty of care of veterans in its subjective and objective shape.
